eat a ton of carbs and do a ton of cardio=ripped

It's great when you finally find something that works for you. Over the past 3 weeks w/no cardio, I've dropped 4lbs and increased all my lifts. SwaytNESS. I should add cardio, then maybe my back fat would go bye bye.

how are you dropping fat?

good progress!

You look ripped man, about the same bodyfat % as me, really similar build except you're much taller and have much better chest development.

So you do cardio and weight training EVERYDAY? Do you do them together? Weights then cardio?

Macro timing and percentages, basically. Eat fairly clean, but nothing is off limits. I'm gonna up my activity next week, all I've been doing is lifting 2 on 1 off, so any more activity should help me drop a little more fat. Good progress back at you, stick with it.

this approach wouldn't work for everybody, thats for sure. But hell, if you can eat like that go for it. BTW i don't think your actually burning 2000 cals w/ your cardio...thats pretty tough to do. The increase in BMR/partioning is probably whats helping you most. I think my legs would die w/ 2hrs cardio lol.

What kind of cardio are you doing for 2 hours??

also how do u manage to do 2 hrs of cardio every day? 1 hour of low-mod intensity 3-4 x a week makes me so freakin tired. what's your secret in maintaining your energy?

well i break the cardio up in 30 minite intervals throughout the day. ill do like half in the morning before work then other half at night after school. some days i just do 2 and a half hours of cardio with no lifting. if im doing all stair master i will only do just 2 hours of cardio and 15-30 minites of lifting. but if i do running and stair master i wont do any lifting, because running takes me longer to do than stair master.

some days i may box and kick box for 30 minites

running for example i calculate each mile burns 120 calories or so at my bodyweight. some times ill do 8.5 miles in a day so thats basically about 1000 calories


but i prefer the stair climber because its is much more intense. the machine says i burn about 550 calories in 30 minites. i believe it too because i swear in just 30 minites i am soaked from head to toe in sweat. i am much more sweaty in just 30 minites of stair climber than 5 miles of running.

it takes about a few weeks of getting conditioned to the point where u can handle alot of cardio. just stick with it everyday if you can. space it out through the day

so my routine is like this........

30minite stairclimber, rest for 5 minites, 30 minite stairclimber, lift for 20 minites--------AM WORKOUT

30 minite stairclimber, rest for 5 minites, 30 minite stairclimber--------PM WORKOUT


or

1 and 1/2 hour of running------AM

30 minite stairclimber, rest for 5, 30 minite stairclimber-------PM WORKOUT

well i try to keep my mind off of it when doing the stair climber by reading something. or looking at the tv's at the gym

zero, how long have you been doing this,and how much weight have you lost, this seems very extreme with all the cardio but you look great.

maybe an easier idea for those who wanna try something like this is to add a game of basketball. An hour or two of b ball fly's, its anaeorbic, and you burn more cals than most cardio.
